Below, describe the process that shows GUI according to the user command of input electronic equipment as shown in Figure 2 in detail with reference to Fig. 4.Fig. 4 show the universal according to the present invention embodiment show the process flow diagram of the method for GUI in response to inputting user command.
At first, control module 280 generates GUI according to stored data items order in storage unit 260, and the GUI that is generated is offered display unit 270.In operation S410, display unit 270 shows GUI.
In operation S420, control module 280 determines whether to import touch, slide or push based on the signal that receives from touch sensor unit 232, compression sensor unit 234 or action button 250.
If determined to import touch, slide or pushed ("Yes" among the operation S420), then in operation S430, control module 280 is expressed according to input and is formed user command.
Then, in operation S440, control module 280 generates and the corresponding GUI of user command, and control display unit 270 shows this GUI.Input express with the incoherent example of user command in, as when navigation menu when locating technical routine, also can correspondingly dispose GUI.In the specific embodiment of universal of the present invention, be associated with the user command of carry out device functionality specifying input to express, as at playing media file or when adjusting volume, and other input expression do not carry out this user command, but are used to the GUI that navigates.In addition, should be understood that can form input by a plurality of controls to equipment expresses, to carry out user command and to carry out other functions (as navigation).
Below, repetitive operation S420 and subsequent operation.
To describe the process (in the specific embodiment of universal of the present invention, being the top tabulation in the tabulation level) that generates the GUI that tabulates with display mode in response to the order of opening device power supply now in detail.Fig. 5 show the universal according to the present invention exemplary embodiment, after the input power-on command, show and the user command in first touch area 310 is imported the process flow diagram of the method for corresponding GUI.
In operation S510, control module 280 at first determines whether to have imported power-on command.
The user can be by pressing operation button 250 second action button and keep predetermined amount of time to import power-on command.In order to open the power supply of example electronic device, the user can push second action button more than 1 second.Therefore, control module 280 determines to have imported the user command of power-on, and operation is with the power supply of unlocking electronic equipment.
If determined to import power-on command ("Yes" among the operation S510), then control module 280 reads the data of storing in the storage unit 260 of electronic equipment, and generates the mode list of the data items of the operator scheme of having indicated electronic equipment in operation S520.In the process of generate pattern tabulation, control module 280 is highlighted with the schema entry at mode list center, and the data items of arrangement mode tabulation is to meet the profile of touch pad 230.Then, control module 280 control display units 270 show the mode list that is generated.If constitute mode list schema entry number greater than can be on display unit 270 the items displayed number, then can use the subclass of mode list to generate this mode list.Then, the schema entry that control module 280 can make the center of the schema entry that will show on display unit 270 arrange is highlighted, and the data items of mode list is arranged as the profile of touch pad 230, and control display unit 270 shows this mode list.
Simultaneously, in operation S530, control module 280 determines whether to have imported the excitation of sliding.The user can touch first touch area 310 with his/her thumb, and can be by encouraging the touch point to carry out slip continuously when keeping the touch condition of touch pad 230.Control module 280 is by determining to have occurred slip from continuous touch point received signal, and also can determine to carry out the direction of sliding by the moving direction that uses the touch point.
Control module 280 generates new mode list according to the sensing from touch sensor unit 232 by for example changing highlighted project, and control display unit 270 shows the mode list that is generated.When having changed highlighted project, even constituted the project that the project of mode list is different from the mode list of previous generation and demonstration, control module 280 supposes that also they are different mode list.
In operation S550, control module 280 determines whether to have imported the short order of pushing.Compression sensor unit 234 can determine whether to have occurred pushing excitation.The user can touch first touch area 310 with his/her thumb, and can apply the pressure (as less than 1 second) of short time to first touch area 310, pushes thereby compression sensor 234 can sense.Therefore, the compression sensor in first touch area 310 is through pushing the duration, and the signal of indication being pushed excitation imposes on control module 280, and then, control module 280 determines to have imported the short order of pushing.
If determine to have imported the short order ("Yes" among the operation S550) of pushing, then control module 280 generates the project of the details that meets the highlighted project that shows on display unit 270, and controls the generation details that display unit 270 comes the display high-brightness project in operation S560.Particularly, control module 280 reads in the storage unit 260 data of details of the highlighted project of storage, handle the data that read and also provide it to display unit 270, thereby can be on display unit 270 video data.The details of highlighted project can be the tabulation of highlighted item specific or other details relevant with highlighted project.In the specific embodiment of universal of the present invention, the tabulation of the highlighted item specific that generates by control module 280 meets the profile of touch pad 230.
Fig. 6 A to 6C is the view that user command exemplary embodiment, that relate to basis execution in first touch area 310 of the universal according to the present invention shows the method for GUI.
If as in operation S510, import power-on command, then control module 280 reads the mode list as the top tabulation in the tabulation level of storage in storage unit 260, the new model that generation is highlighted with technical routine, and the new model tabulation that is generated is provided to display unit 270.
Term relevant with example electronic device, that constitute mode list can be " recording ", " other (Extra) ", " radio ", " music ", " photo ", " film ", " setting " etc.Can be at any time on display unit 270 all or part of of display mode project.For example, when can show five schema entries on display unit 270 time, control module 280 generates mode list by using relevant with " film " with for example " other ", " radio ", " music ", " photo " with " recording " and " setting " incoherent project.In the embodiment of universal of the present invention, generate mode list by using with corresponding text of all schema entries and icon.
Control module 280 can make icon and the text relevant with default mode project (as project " music ") highlighted at first, wherein this project is positioned at the center of all items that will show on display unit 270, generate pattern tabulation then, thus the layout of the display items display of mode list meets the profile of touch pad 230.Then, control module 280 control display units 270 show the mode list that is generated as shown in Figure 6A.
If the user carries out slip along left-hand after having touched touch pad 230 with his/her thumb, the highlighted project that can move to the left side that then on display unit 270, shows.Particularly, if the user has touched first touch point 312 in first touch area 310, and in the maintenance touch condition, carry out the slip that his/her thumb is moved to second touch point 314, the touch sensor that is positioned at first touch point 312 senses touch, and the touch sensor that is positioned at 314 places, second touch point then senses touch.Corresponding touch sensor provides sensing result to control module 280.In this case, because control module 280 receives the signal of the touch sensor of having indicated 312 places, first touch point, encouraged the touch sensor at 314 places, second touch point then,, promptly slided along left-hand so determine slip from first touch point, 312 to second sensors 314.
Therefore, control module 280 generates the mode list that moves to the left side with highlighted, and the mode list that is generated is offered display unit 270.Promptly, control module 280 reads the mode list that comprises project " other ", " film " etc. from storage unit 260, initial placement is highlighted in the project " radio " in project " music " left side, and generate new model tabulation that comprises highlighted project " radio " and the profile that meets touch pad 230.Then, control module 280 provides the mode list that is generated to display unit 270, and the mode list of display unit 270 demonstrations shown in Fig. 6 B.
Shown in Fig. 6 B, the form of menu list, promptly constitute the profile that form that the project of menu list arranges meets touch pad 230.In addition, can recognize that the moving direction of user's thumb on touch pad 230 is identical with highlighted moving direction.Although Fig. 6 B shows and highlightedly moves to project " radio " from project " music ", but in order to generate the menu list shown in Fig. 6 B, control module 280 reads and is stored in mode list in the storage unit 260, that comprise project " other ", " music " etc., make project " radio " highlighted, and to tabulate, to provide the mode list that is generated to display unit 270 with generating the mode generate pattern that mode list is identical shown in Fig. 6 A.
On the other hand, if the user slides into three touch point 316 from second touch point 314 by first touch point 312 with his/her thumb, then the touch sensor of touch sensor unit 232 provides indication to carry out from the signal of second touch point 314 by the touch of 312 to the 3rd touch points 316, first touch point to control module 280 when carrying out touch.When the slip carried out from 314 to first touch points 312, second touch point, the mode list that control module 280 generates as shown in Figure 6A, and provide the mode list that is generated to display unit 270.When the slip that continues from 312 to the 3rd touch points 316, first touch point, control module generates the mode list shown in Fig. 6 C, and provides the mode list that is generated to display unit 270.
Promptly, if determined to carry out slip from 312 to the 3rd touch points 316, first touch point, then control module 280 reads the mode list of being made up of project " other ", " film " etc., and makes the icon and the text of the project " photo " of arranging on the right side of project " music " highlighted.Then, control module 280 generate patterns are tabulated to meet the profile of touch pad 230, control display unit 270 then and show the mode list that is generated.Therefore, the mode that moves of the corresponding direction of direction of sliding on touch pad 230 according to highlighted edge and user's thumb is come the display mode tabulation.Will present to highlighted the moving of user, but on stricti jurise, be the change of highlighted project.
With reference to Fig. 6 A to 6C, the exemplary user's opposing thumb that shows slides into second touch point 314 after having touched first touch point 312, perhaps slide into the 3rd touch point 316 from second touch point 314 by first touch point 312.Yet universal of the present invention is not limited to this.That is, user's opposing thumb needn't touch first touch point 312 for the first time, but moves highlightedly after carry out touching in response to glide direction, and does not consider the touch for the first time where made on touch pad 230.Therefore, if highlighted being on the technical routine, then the user can touch any one in first touch point 312, second touch point 314 and the 3rd touch point 316.In this state, if the user carries out the slip from the point that touched to right touch point, the highlighted right side that moves to that shows on display unit 270 then is and if the user has carried out the slip from the point that touched to left touch point, the then highlighted left side that moves to.
In addition, even the user carries out the slip to the 3rd touch point 316 touched the 3rd touch area 330 that is presented at as shown in Figure 6A on the display unit 270 with his/her thumb after, also on the display screen of electronic equipment, show the GUI shown in Fig. 6 B.
The user command that Fig. 7 A to 7B relates to another embodiment of universal according to the present invention shows the diagram of the method for GUI.
In Fig. 6 A to 6C, the exemplary direction that not have mode of change to carry out slip according to the display position with the project that constitutes mode list that shows moves highlighted.Yet universal of the present invention is not limited to this, can mobile project and with the highlighted center that is fixed on display unit 270.
In the specific embodiment of universal of the present invention, if the user has touched touch pad 230 and has carried out the slip that the touch point is moved to the left a step with his/her thumb, keep the touch condition with touch pad 230 simultaneously, then touch sensor unit 232 provides sensing result to control module 280.Read in the mode list that is stored in storage unit 260 in the process of the mode list that will show on display unit 270, control module 280 changes a part that is included in the schema entry in the mode list.That is, shown in Fig. 6 B, control module 280 reads project " recording " rather than project " film ", and then, the schema entry that is read is " recording ", " other ", " radio ", " music " and " photo ".Then, control module 280 is arranged in the tabulation of the highlighted and arrangement mode of the project " radio " that reads the project center meeting touch pad 230 profiles by making, thereby generates the new model tabulation.Then, control module 280 provides the mode list that is generated to display unit 270, the mode list that is received that display unit 270 shows shown in Fig. 7 A.
In an identical manner, if the user has touched touch pad 230 and has carried out the slip that the touch point is moved right and moves a step with his/her thumb, keep touch condition simultaneously, then the schema entry that will show on display unit 270 is moved to the left a step, and makes the project " photo " at the center of moving to highlighted.That is, if determined to import the sliding slip order that moves a step of order of will sliding left, then control module 280 reads the mode list that will move from storage unit 260.Then, control module 280 makes the project " photo " of the center arrangement in the mode list that is read highlighted, and generate pattern tabulation is arranged meeting the profile of touch pad 230, and shown mode list is offered display unit 270.The mode list that is received that display unit 279 shows shown in Fig. 7 B.
As mentioned above, be:, then use fixing highlighted position that corresponding project is moved to the left side if he has touched first touch pad 230 and execution slip to the right with what present to the user; And if he carries out slip to the left, then project is moved to the right side.Yet, on stricti jurise, say, change be highlighted project.
Next, will the method that be presented at the GUI of the electronic equipment of execution in second touch area 320 according to user command be described.
Fig. 8 show the universal according to the present invention exemplary embodiment, show the process flow diagram with the method for the corresponding GUI of user command that imports second touch area 320.
At first, in operation S810, control module 280 determines whether to have imported touch order in second touch area 320.Particularly, the user carries out the slip from 310 to second touch areas 320, first touch area.Touch sensor in first touch area 310 senses touch, and sensing result is offered control module 280.Afterwards, the touch sensor in second touch area 320 senses touch, and sensing result is offered control module 280.Therefore, control module 320 is determined to have imported touch order in second touch area 320.
If determined to import the touch order ("Yes" among the operation S810) of second touch area 320, then control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and provides it to display unit 270, thereby show the new model tabulation in operation S820.Formerly the highlighted project that changes is arranged in the left side of highlighted project.
For example, in operation S830, control module 280 can determine whether in second touch area 320 long-time (as 3 seconds) maintenance touch order.The user can continue 3 seconds touch after his/her thumb is moved to second touch area 320.In this case, the touch sensor in second touch area 320 provides indication to sense the signal that touched in 3 seconds, and then, control module 280 determines that touch order has kept 3 seconds.
Kept 3 seconds ("Yes" among the operation S830) if determined touch order, then control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and provides it to display unit 270, and show the new model tabulation in operation S840.At this moment, with operation S820 in identical mode, the formerly highlighted project that arrange to change of the left side of highlighted project.
Afterwards, if user's inputting user command 3 seconds once more, then control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and also provides it to display unit 270.When continuing touch order as mentioned above, control module 280 changes highlighted project with 3 seconds interval, generate the new model tabulation and provide it to display unit 270, and the user can observe the highlighted project of continuation change.
On the other hand, in operation S840, control module 280 determines whether to have imported pushes order.When the user touches second touch area 320 and pushed second touch area 320, compression sensor unit 234 will sense and push.Compression sensor unit 234 provides indication to import the signal of pushing order to control module 280.
Push order ("Yes" among the operation S840) if determined to import, then in operation S850, control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and provides it to display unit 270, and show the new model tabulation.With with operation S820 in identical mode, the formerly highlighted project that arrange to change of the left side of highlighted project.
For example, in operation S860, control module 280 determines whether to keep pushing order 1 second in second touch area 320.The user can continue 1 second pushing of second touch area 320, in this case, and the signal that the compression sensor unit 234 in second touch area 320 provides excitation in 1 second to push, thereby control module 280 determines to push order maintenance 1 second.
Kept 1 second ("Yes" among the operation S860) if determine to push order, then control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and provides it to display unit 270, and show the new model tabulation in operation S850.At this moment, with operation S820 in identical mode, the formerly highlighted project that arrange to change of the left side of highlighted project.
Then, if the user keeps pushing order 1 second once more, then control module 280 changes highlighted project, generates the new model tabulation and provides it to display unit 270.When keeping this order as mentioned above, the interval that control module 280 continued with 1 second changes highlighted project, generate the new model tabulation and also provide it to display unit 270, thereby the user observes and has changed highlighted project continuously.
In the specific embodiment of universal of the present invention, the user can or push second touch area 320 by sustained touch and change highlighted project continuously.Yet,, can push second touch area 320 but not sustained touch if the user wants to change more apace highlighted project.
